Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission

The Southern New Hampshire Regional Plan covers the Manchester, NH region. The Southern New Hampshire Planning Commission (SNHPC) created a committee representing all of the towns in the region and met regularly with representatives from town Planning Boards, non-profit agencies, housing agencies, colleges, neighborhood groups, churches, Chamber of Commerce’s, etc. There was more community outreach than had ever been done with any other plans with surveys distributed at public events (fairs, festivals, etc.), a University of New Hampshire phone survey, public comment boxes, posters, newsletter articles, social media campaign, public visioning sessions, a project website, etc. SNHPC worked with the communities to look at the big picture to help plan out land use and transportation issues and how it affects the natural and cultural resources, our health and economic development.
